Core Workflow

The canonical product flow: Build, Validate, Fix, Ship.

Protoboard is easiest to learn as one loop:

1. Build: Add parts and connect interfaces.

2. Validate: Run checks and review diagnostics.

3. Fix: Resolve incompatibilities and constraints.

4. Ship: Export BOM/share blueprint.

Treat validation output as a to-do list, not a failure report.

Build

Define candidate parts and intended interfaces.

Validate

Run DRC to test compatibility and constraints.

Fix

Resolve blocking errors first, then warnings.

Ship

Generate/export BOM and share project artifacts.
